Iran-Made Centrifuges Applied in Power Plant, Seawater Desalination Industry
“We have produced two types of centrifuges for wastewater treatment and power plants; these centrifuges, named as ‘decanters’ in the water and wastewater industry, are used in the separation and purification of sludge in a way that the water can be reused in the Ministry of Energy's activities," said Keyvan Heidari, the commercial manager of the knowledge-based company.
He stated that the device was imported by the Ministry of Energy until now, adding, “At present, we are conducting preliminary assessments to apply it in water desalination processes in Assalouyeh region.”
“The device is used in power plant industries to separate mainly suspended particles in oil or separate particles from water used in gas and steam turbines,” Heidari said.
Also earlier this year, an Iranian researcher invented a combined desalination device which can be applied for household and agricultural uses.
“This invention is in the field of mechanics and food industry, specially since it can simultaneously produce water needed for household and agricultural purposes due to its combined nature,” said Behzad Abbaszadeh, the inventor of the device and a PhD graduate in mechanics.
He explained that the device can be used for desalination of water and simultaneously use the remaining wastewater which has no color, smell, taste or harmful substances for agricultural purposes, fish farming, bathing and washing.
“The device has been designed in a way that at least 40% of the incoming water can be purified and used for drinking, and it enjoys the ability to prevent the remaining water (60% of the incoming water) from being wasted,” Abbaszadeh noted.
